geekyness sucks
so i've been playing around with my computer all afternoon after getting 9 CD's in the mail today. 9 CD's that are all the same... so if anyone wants a copy of
Ubuntu then just
email me.
My original idea was to load it onto my old fat computer that was running on Windows 98, then Redhat, then Windows 98 again. But alas the boot-disk didn't work. I originally thought it was because I got a new CD-ROM drive, but then i switched the new drive onto my Dell, and it worked fine. Well... "fine" - that is to say, the disk doesn't really completely work on the Dell for some unknown reason.
Unbuntu is supposed to be really super easy to install, and it's supposed to take less than 25 minutes. But mine just won't work. Damn ugly computers. Oh well, I guess when/if i get a laptop i'll put it on that. because Linux rocks my socks.
The disks did however come with windows versions of some pretty cool linux programs that i've been too lazy to download. Like
audacity and
openoffice.org. So that's good. indeed.
So any nerds out there that want to fix my BIOS problem on my old home-made computer or just the ghey problem on my new Dell, please knock on my door and help.

p.s that wasn't an open invitiation to knock on my door and tinker with my electronics. please call first or something!
p.p.s GOOD LUCK TO ALL HOUSE MUSIC PEOPLE!!! especially:
Amy,
Isabel,
Paul,
Kat-G,
Bruce,
Steve,
Ming-Ming and... i'm missing one... allen... oh right...
Sam... meh.
p.p.p.s
GO FORSTER!!!
p.p.p.p.s I was thinking last night, I know i've told the important people this, but yeah - I don't really care who wins tomorrow night, because the people that it means the most to are some of my closest and best friends. So even if forster come last, I know that there will be some smiling faces amongst my friends. Although, don't tell Kitch, but I really hope Allen come last. Amy, Iz and Kat-G (and maybe even Paul) are better than Kitch and Sam combined. Mind you, like Tuba Tom - Sam (in my opinion, sorry to those that like her, but she has always been a real cow to me) detracts from the goodness of Allen, so although Kitch is mighty super, he gets weighed down in my books by Sam.
So I'll be happy if any of Cullen, Munro or Forster win. Although I will be extra delighted if firster take home first. Not that there is REALLY a first, second etc. because we all have such a good time doing it, and it's such a great experience.
p.p.p.p.p.s Amy, you'll be on the same stage as where Tori played! hahaha!
